RE: Read Gmail from iSeries

Too bad you can't go with commercial apps.

I have a Gmail task already written that you can use to capture gmails to an IFS folder or DB for processing with our AutoMate software.

Your task could have been done 2 days ago :-)

Do the math $$$ on how much time you've wasted on researching this and you could have paid for our AutoMate product or Brads API already.

I appreciate the emails and ideas!!!

I'd like to go to a commercial app to do the work, but convincing management is a huge challenge. (I have a better chance wining the White House in a 100% vote). It took about 8 months to convince them to purchase BVS' Spool Suite for sending stuff off the machine.

The whole idea is to watch for a specific email that is being forwarded from another account. Once it sees those specific emails, it will parse the content looking for product information keywords. Depending up the values of those keywords, either send information over to someone else or send the information into a quote processing system. The emails are very canned.
They're generated by a server that we have no control over. (One of our vendor sites.)
